If you are in need of creating cannabis butter at home, we are here to help.
You can purchase weed butter or make it in the comfort of your home.
If you’re going to make your weed-infused butter at home, you will need to pick up cannabis bud.
We always recommend consulting your budtender to select the best weed strain for your cannabis edibles.
Selecting Your Weed
Let your dispensary representative know that you will be creating cannabutter with your marijuana buds.
They can help you choose a strain that works well with cannabis cooking and help you determine what to choose based on your preferences, likes and dislikes for a desired high.
Decide between a THC strain for elevating properties or a CBD bud that will not get you high. Both have great benefits and it’s entirely up to you.
Important Steps for Making Cannabis Chocolate
If you’re ready to create your cannabis-infused butter, it is time to decarboxylate your weed.
This will activate the compounds in your cannabis that give you all of its helpful properties.
Unfortunately, skipping this step will make these properties null and void so be sure to decarb your weed and reach out to us in the comments if you need any assistance with this.
Creating Cannabutter
Now that you are ready to create your cannabis-infused butter, check out this recipe below.
This is the last step, and you’re onto the Chocolate Cannabis Bar!
Decarboxylate your weed by spreading your cannabis evenly on an oven tray And coat with aluminum foil.
Place in the oven on 240F/115C for 25 till 45 minutes, and then let it cool.
Grind your dry cannabis or chop it till fine.
Place the cannabis in a strong mason jar, add butter and (1 tsp of sunflower lecithin)(optional)
Place your closed jar in cold water and let it come to a boil, Boil for 2 to 3 hours.
Strain your butter through a cheesecloth.
Cool down
Now you can use the Cannabis Butter (Cannabutter)

Notes
If using a mason jar, be sure to start with cold water. Furthermore, it is imperative to let the water cool gradually so that your glass will not shatter.The video guide might be slightly different than the blog recipe. The blog recipe is the most updated and accurate.
Melt the chocolate in a clean, dry bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. If you want to temper the chocolate (see above.) Add your cannabis butter.
Once the chocolate is melted, (and tempered, if tempering the chocolate), remove the bowl from the pan and wipe the moisture off the bottom of the bowl.
Pour or spoon a layer of chocolate into your molds. Rap them on the counter a few times to distribute the chocolate evenly and release any air bubbles, then working quickly, top with any kinds of nuts, dried fruits, or other ingredients that you wish and press them in slightly.
(You can also stir ingredients into the chocolate, such as toasted nuts, seeds, crisped rice cereal, snipped marshmallows, or other ingredients, then pour the mixture into the molds.)
Immediately put the bars in the refrigerator until firm. If tempered chocolate is used, it shouldn’t take more than five minutes for them to firm up. Otherwise the chocolate will take longer.
I have been making butter and chocolates for years now. You don’t have to temper your canabutter. Slow-cooked 5 lbs of stick butter on warm and what ever plant you have for about 8 hours. Don’t want to do any longer then that because they you start to cook out the potency. I have a friend who grows and I use all the trim (stems, branch, seeds and leaf) along with what ever shake it left from trimming. My butter is outstanding and packs quite a punch. Now the recipe for the chocolates are pretty spot on for the measerments, how ever instead of using bark, I buy chocolate chips. Why? Because they come in so many different flavors. Works just the same and the results are amazing. Just a little FYI. When baking or cooking anything that requires oil, you can literally melt that butter and substitute it in the oils place. Makes for great food all the time.
Debrah,
If u don’t want to spend a couple hundred on majic butter machine u can easily cook your cannabutter in your slow cooker/crockpot but make sure it is set only on warm not high or low just warm! U can use it from anywhere from 4-6 hours or 12-24 hours! Cool before straining through a cheesecloth and strainer for the just in cases! Then follow rest of the chock recipe and all will be sweet! Pardon the pun lol
While it is possible, it is not recommended. As your chocolate won’t harden as well. You could use less oil than if you would use butter. Keep it to 2 tbsp of oil.
Not noticeable. The butter is only a 16th part of the batch. The chocolate hardens perfectly and is not soft. Just make sure to not keep it at warm temperatures. If you live in a warm climate, try to keep it at a cool dark place.
You can use more or less than a cup depending how high or low you want the dosage. Infusion is just adding one ingredient to another. The only thing you may need to do additionally is add an emulsification agent like lechtin. You can add too much cannabutter (or pick infusion of choice.) think of a glass of water. You can put salt into it until it dissolves. at a certain point the salt will stop dissolving and settle at the bottom. Add more water and the salt dissolves. Hope that helps.

Don’t buy cannabutter. Make it yourself. Slow cook an ounce of shake with a pound of butter and a cup of water on low for up for 8-16 hours. The longer you cook it the more potent it will be. Use crock pot or slow cooker. Strain with cheese cloth into container and put in fridge. Your cannabutter will solidify and the water will drop to the bottom of the container. Use a knife to take a chunk out and drain the water. You’re now ready to use your butter for any edibles you wish to make!

thanks! at first I thought you were joking around so I googled and there really is such a product. going to buy one thanks so much!!!!!
Can I add more butter or less chocolate to make the candy more potent? Or would it ruin the texture?
Does it matter what type of chocolate i use? Like can i use milk chocolate or would it be better to use dark
Use any chocolate you want
It says the bar serves 8, but how big are the servings? Can you get multiple bars from this amount?
Thank you so much for this recipe. How do I temper 8 cups of chocolate?
By doubling the recipe
Can this be done with almond bark? I’m trying to make buckeyes that will get you where you want to go with one or two
Yes to almond bark
Cinnamon, crushed Oreo and coffee are also good addition to the almond bark
You can use anything that melts to incorporate butter. you may need lechtin (or similar emmulsifier) if the fat content on your chosen food is low
Wanting to know myself! Still no response, .i’m gonna assume so….
Increase the recipe by two, so put half a cup of canna butter and 8 cups of chocolate.

How do you decarb weed into the butter
Decarb 240° for 45 minutes. Oz of weed to 1 Lb butter. Simmer 3-4 hrs.
120 deg for 40 mins. THC burns off at 187degC so you’ll need it lower than that
you decarb the weed Before it is placed into the butter.
200 degrees 15min.
225 degrees for 40 min. U can put it in an oven bag if u want to contain the smell a little bit
You can use a Manson jar it works great
Can i use a concentrate instead of flower? If so a gram of decarbed wax should do correct ?
Yes this will work! Done it
Will the chocolate work as well with cannabis oil and other quantity amount the same meaning a cup.
While it is possible, it is not recommended. As your chocolate won’t harden as well. You could use less oil than if you would use butter. Keep it to 2 tbsp of oil.
Will the chocolate melt faster due to the butter?
Not noticeable. The butter is only a 16th part of the batch. The chocolate hardens perfectly and is not soft. Just make sure to not keep it at warm temperatures. If you live in a warm climate, try to keep it at a cool dark place.
What brand of chocolate did you use and can you use more than a 1/4 cup of butta to 4 cups of chocolate

Fabulous. Just fabulous.

The longer you cook it the more CBN you release aka SLEEP
If you want a heady high 3 hours is More than enough time
That’s my recipe as well. Do you decarb the flower before adding to the crock pot?
Love to make edibles

If I only want to use 1 cup of chocolate to make small chocolate candys what ratio of cannabutter should I use? 1tbs?
Where can i get cannabus butter?
You have to make it.
^ at the bus stop
Debra, you really should infuse your own butter. You’ll have better control and flexibility with your cooking/baking.
You make it with the magical butter machine, it’s awesome!
Can I use this to drizzle onto cookies?
Ofcourse, just use a teaspoon while the chocolate is still melted and drizzle over all of your favorite deserts! I enjoy fresh fruit.
